So be careful

Two years ago Nevada fell short of the law being called a "Castle

Quick-thinking is often a substitute.

"Well, officer he kicked down the door. He screamed 'I'm gonna kill all you
mother-*****s and everybody you ever knew!" He raised the hatchet he was
carrying (or knife or baseball bat or whatever you have lying about) and I,
in fear of my life, discharged my weapon in his direction."

Of course, better is to say NOTHING to the investigating officers, unless
it's along the lines of "Officer, I think I'm having a heart attack! I need
to get to the emergency room!"
